A.

2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

B.

2

C.

1

D.

\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Correct answer is B

Gradient = \(\frac{y_2 - y_ 1}{x_2 - x_1}\)

= \(\frac{5.20 - 3.90}{6.85 - 6.20}\)

= \(\frac{1.3}{0.5}\) 

= 2

In the diagram, PQ is a straight line. If m = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (x + y + z), find value of m.

A.

45\(^o\)

B.

60\(^o\)

C.

90\(^o\)

D.

100\(^o\)

Correct answer is B

x + y + m + 2 = 180\(^o\)

\(\frac{x + y + 2}{2} + \frac{m}{2}\) = 90\(^o\)

m + \(\frac{m}{2} = 90^o\)

3m = 2 x 90\(^o\)

\(\frac{3m}{3} = \frac{180^o}{3}\)

m = 60\(^o\)
